Welcome Back!!
Welcome Back!!
I hope you're still enjoying your well deserved break!
I wanted to get this information out to you all sooner than later. I am really looking forward to another year together. As we transition into our new school name, our focus will be on "rebranding" who we are and why we do it; standing behind what we believe in and doing what's best for our panthers and all while building positive relationships.
We have great systems in place, but I am proud of how we keep reflecting and perfecting the way we look at student work and how you base your instructional decisions on their work. Our master schedule reflects that and I have taken into account your feedback to provide time for collaboration.
As we work together, and regardless of your role at Alexander, please know that you have an important job! it takes a team of individuals with the same goals and commitment to make progress.
Please do not hesitate to email, text, call or stop by anytime to ask clarifying questions!

Our "Theme" this year: LEAVE YOUR MARK. INSPIRE.
Inspire: (1): to encourage somebody to greater effort, enthusiasm, or creativity (2): to awaken a particular feeling in somebody
As you think about "why" you chose this profession, please reflect on "how" you will INSPIRE your students, colleagues, parents, and anyone else you encounter and have conversations with. How will you leave your mark?
It will be more difficult to have décor to go along with our theme, so you can decorate your back to school door in the manner/theme you choose!
Ask your team lead about our "team" lip sync challenge!!!
Congrats to our 2018-2019 team leads!
